Netflix Greta Gerwig is inviting audiences to enter the epic realm of Narnia with “The Magician’s Nephew,” for which the first trailer was unveiled on Tuesday.
Based on the classic C.S. Lewis children’s book series “The Chronicles of Narnia,” the story follows two children, Digory and Polly, who are the first to discover the “Wood between the Worlds,” otherwise known as Narnia. Scored to Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” the cosmic trailer opens with Daniel Craig’s Andrew Ketterley — the titular magician — opining that “sometimes one story is the beginning of all the others” before he gives the youngsters a magical ring that transports them to various fantastical lands. The kids are spellbound as they come into contact with mythical creatures, beings and beasts including Emma Mackey’s Jadis, the future White Witch and last Queen of Charn, and Fledge, a talking horse who is capable of flight.
